Usual concentration of applied samples 0.1 to 1 µg / µl for qualitative
Analysis and quantity may vary in quantization based on UV
absorption 1 to 5 µl for spot and 10 µL for band application.
MANUAL , SEMI-AUTOMATIC , AUTOMATIC APPLICATION
Manual with calibrated capillaries
Semi and auto-application through applicators
Applicators use spray on or touch and deliver technique for
application.
Application of sample and
standard
Manual Sample Applicator
easy application
performed with disposable capillary pipettes, guided
by the capillary holder
Semi automatic sample applicator
suitable for routine use
With the linomat , samples are sprayed onto the
chromatographic layer in the form of narrow bands
solvent of the sample evaporates almost entirely
gives a narrow band of selectable length
Automatic Sample Applicator
Samples are either applied as spots through contact
transfer (0.1-5 micro lit) or as bands or rectangles
(0.5->50 micro lit) using the spray on techniques
Chromatographic
Development
Start of
development
Low solvent
consumption
Reproducible pre-
equilibrium with
Solvent vapour
1. Twin trough chamber
2. Automatic developing
chamber (ADC)
fully automatic and independent of
environmental effects
The activity and pre-conditioning of the
layer , chamber saturation, developing
distance and final drying can be pre-set
and automatically monitored by ADC
Detection, scanning &
documentationDetection and visualization
· Detection under UV light is first choice - non destructive
· Spots of fluorescent compounds can be seen at 254 nm (short
wave length) or at 366 nm (long wave length)
· Spots of non fluorescent compounds can be seen - fluorescent
stationary phase is used - silica gel GF
· Non UV absorbing compounds like ethambutol, dicylomine etc
- dipping the plates in 0.1% iodine solution
· When individual component does not respond to UV -
derivatisation required for detection
CHROMATOGRAM IMMERSION
DEVICE
Dipping technique
immersed and withdrawn at a controlled
uniform speed
HPTLC SPRAYER
 a charger and a pump unit with two
kinds of spray heads
 type A is for spray solutions of normal
viscosity, e.g. lower alcohol solutions
 type B is for liquids of higher viscosity,
e.g. sulfuric acid reagents
TLC SPRAY CABINET
complete removal of reagent mist while
spraying TLC plates
TLC PLATE HEATER
homogenous heating across the plate
Scanning
connected to computer.
The scanner features three light sources: a
deuterium lamp , a tungsten lamp and a high
pressure mercury lamp.
The scanning speed is selectable between 1
and 100 mm/s
